6 THE WAYS OF THE WORLD

New Ways of the World explores design approaches for inhabited space relating to dif- ferent spatial and temporal aspects of : finding somewhere to live, moving from one place to another, eating, consuming, working, going to school, being connected, travelling, going to the cinema, reading, interacting with others, dreaming, and so on. Design is an art that deals with how we relate to things. It’s about how we relate to modes of use, to the environment, to time and space, to other people, and to the world at large.

New Ways of the World is both determinedly critical and optimistic. It provides numerous alternative responses to the ways in which the Earth is being made less inhabitable. The projects presented are promising signs that new conditions for global inhabitability can be created in which the notions of otherness and fairness play a decisive role. Each project is designed as a built solution. Though distinct from one another, these initiatives have in common a strong sense of commitment on the part of those implementing them.

The current crisis puts our social and economic resilience to the test in three interconnec- ted dimensions: the individual, the collective and the political. It also opens up new perspectives. It invites us to reflect upon how to provide people with alternative inhabitable space, and it encourages us to give the economy a new meaning by reactivating its roots in the oikos, the art of good housekeeping: not the of the finance-driven world, which exhausts its and destroys the living environment, but that of the world as a shared dwelling place. The exhibition invites us to ‘cultivate our garden’, in the words of Voltaire’s Candide, by taking care of the Earth, its air and its , for ALL of its inhabitants, with both modesty and courage.

In this regard, New Ways of the World testifies to our ability to build the best possible inha- bitable space in the age of the .

Voltaire defended the idea that after a life of trials and tribulations, Candide, Cunégonde and others had no choice but to “cultivate Has the world become irremediably squalid ? their garden” and to invent a small society that would meet their needs.

This broader meaning of the word design encourages us to completely rethink the impact of hu-mans on their environment and above all, at a time when the story of the Anthropocene is unfold-ing, their role in the changing state of the world. As a verb of action and intention, design makes those who perform that action accountable. The world is not in its current state “by mistake” or “by accident”, but by design: in other words, as a result of planned projects and collective desires that have become reality.

Buckminster Fuller, an American architect, designer, writer and futurist thinker. It is the most accurate world projection. Unlike traditional world maps that tend to reinforce the elements that separate humanity and fail to highlight the interrelations, this map illustrates the entire surface of the earth without visible distortion in the relative size and shape of any of the masses or any breaks in the continental contours. In this map there is no « up » and « down » or « north » and « south » only one island in one ocean.

The eye can thus take in the entire hall, which is 25 metres wide and 65 metres long, and move between the displays set out under the banners: models, prototypes, materials, screens, artworks and designed objects.

The Ice Stupas are artificial and pyramidal 30 to 50 meters high that store for the people, livestock and farmland of Ladakh, a region severely affected by drought due to global warming. . Unlike a natural glacier, which exposes its surface largely to the sun, the Ice Stupa, due to its conical shape, is much less exposed to solar radiation and therefore melts more slowly.

In Bangladesh, global warming is a reality. During a cyclone, the wind speed can reach over 200 kilometers per hour and the height can reach several meters high. In addition to a primary school and day clinic, the building is also a cyclone shelter that can accommodate over 1,000 people. The classrooms are wrapped in an outdoor ramp, which winds up to the roof, allowing those seeking shelter to put their livestock, essential to their lives, out of harm’s way.

High-rises are “exceptional territories” whose transformation brings an economical, efficient and qualitative response to housing needs. Thanks to conservatories added to the façades, the flats gain in surface area, comfort and light, and offer residents improved quality of life. The simplicity that characterises the project is, paradoxically, highly unusual.

The floating farm located in the port of Rotterdam, produces, processes and distributes dairy products in the heart of the city. The farm is part of a short production cycle: the cows are fed from the shearing of public spaces in the city and from the remains of neighboring restaurants, and the milk is distributed in local shops. The farm combines a dual objective: to be close to consumers, without depriving inhabitants of urban spaces.

Today in Africa, 900 million people have no access to electricity. Sunna Design, a startup founded in 2011 in Blanquefort, Bordeaux, wants to respond to this problem by launching the Nanogrid, an ecologically sound alternative to standard power networks. This system, which works on solar power, does not require heavy infrastructures and can be set up anywhere quickly. It takes the form of a street lamp to which four households can connect themselves, providing them with LED interior lighting and a mobile phone recharge service.

arc en rêve centre d’architecture was founded in Bordeaux in 1981. Its mission is to stimulate cultural awareness in the fields of architecture, urban planning and landscaping, while also acting as an interface working to improve the quality of the spaces we live in. The centre’s pursuits have both a widely international and a strongly local dimension, structu- red around exhibitions, conferences, debates, publications, workshops for children, courses for adults, trips to visit buil- dings or explore towns, and experimental activities in urban design. arc en rêve fosters creative initiatives, encourages critical thinking, and broadens perspectives of a changing world. Such ventures promote contemporary architectural innovation in and around Bordeaux, throughout the region, and across the globe. In synergy with its monographic and thematic exhibition pro- jects, arc en rêve centre d’architecture develops meetings and workshops for professionals and teachers alike, provi- ding training and setting up contacts. Interactive, hands-on activities specially designed for young people and schools encourage participants to get involved in touching, building, debating and inventing through the use of arc en rêve’s purpose-designed teaching materials.
